Tiefenbrunner: Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Castel Turmhof Gewürztraminer

Alois Lageder: This winery seems incapable of making a bad wine. It produces 35 different wines, many available locally.

St. Michael-Eppan: Pinot Bianco, Sanct Valentin Pinot Bianco, Sanct Valentin Comtess Passito. Comtess is its best, but you have to get it at the winery; it sells out as soon as it’s made.

Manincor: Sophie, Cassiano, Réserve de la Conte, Kalterersee
